I just reread what I wrote in my last post. Wow, sounds like I'm a grumpy old man or a mad father lecturing his kid or something. Didn't mean for it to sound as bad as that. On the other hand, it does sort of bother me when we try to help the less experienced (and I'm assuming younger) overclockers who seem to want instant gratification and try to take shortcuts in overclocking. Hehehe, of course, 25 years ago I reckon I was the same way. Anyway, try going back to the basics and the first basic thing is cooling. There is a couple things to check in your BIOS also, such as RAM timing. RAM settings of 3, 3, 3, 7/9 are the most stable. The lower setting will give a little better performance, but sometimes at the sacrifice of stability. Overclocking is a fine art, not a science. What will work on one system might not work on another. The very first thing I'd do is figure out someway to monitor your temp, because until you do, you're just guessing. Either that or just trust and believe us old farts that have been doing this overclocking stuff for a while. Anyway, I truly mean it when I say good luck, because when it all boils down, there is a certain amount of luck involved in overclocking.
